Specialization

Structural Analysis

Under the light of basic engineering concepts, and with the constant support of simulation based on the Finite Element Method (FEA), using the Ansys Mechanical tool, this specialization enables a simulation technician capable of using CAE technology in a competent and reliable way in various areas of knowledge such as linear and non-linear deformations, fatigue, plastic deformations and other topics of wide application. The course is practical, based on the use of Ansys commercial software, with professors with great experience in industry and academia.

The objective of the course is the practical training of the professional, using the associated theory as a tool for understanding both phenomenologies and numerical and computational techniques. Thus, the student will understand the physics of the problems studied, being able to perform practical activities of .

Methodology

In the 100% on-line modality, the contents are previously prepared and available (timeless) weekly. You are free to choose the most appropriate time of your week to study. To ensure the effectiveness of learning, we promote fortnightly interactive meetings lasting 02 hours. This is the ideal opportunity to clarify your doubts, discuss your real simulation cases and interact with experts in the area. The presence in the interactive class is not mandatory, but strongly recommended.

In addition to the time set aside for interactive classes, students can count on the forums. In this collaborative environment the doubts can be sent at any time and will be answered by ESSS specialists as soon as possible: I) In order to guarantee the best possible response time, requests sent by other communication channels will not be considered; II) This environment should not be used for personal project doubts. We suggest the use of ESSS technical support channel, exclusive for clients with active support and maintenance licenses.

Target Public

Pedro Alonso Flores Alvarez

- Engenheiro Mecânico pela Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú e M.Sc. em Engenharia Mecânica pela Technische Universität Ilmenau (Alemanha). Doutorando em Engenharia na Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. 10 anos de experiência no campo da simulação computacional com a FEA/CFD. Especial foco na avaliação de equipamentos, estruturas e elementos de máquinas através do método dos elementos finitos, tanto na análise estática como dinâmica, fenômenos lineares e não-lineares, e simulações multi-físicas (interacção fluido-estrutura e fenómenos termo-estruturais). Além disso, desenvolve em paralelo métodos de subestruturação para redução de ordem de sistemas dinâmicos de corpos flexíveis altamente complexos. Atualmente ensina vários cursos de graduação e pós-graduação na área da mecânica aplicada e ferramentas computacionais aplicadas à concepção mecânica.
